Away to Stockport.

Ace of Clubs

Nice banana skin tie.

Wish the spuds had the Royal Marines chasing them about

Which tv channel will have the Manchester United game on? Why, because they are always on in the FA Cup, hope I am proved wrong.

IronHerb

One for Dowie to commentate on for SKY.

PrestonHammer

I live about a 5 minute drive from Stockport's ground.

We have never won at Edgeley Park, played there seven times since 1920, lost six, drawn one and the last time we played Stockport Dowie scored that amazing own goal.

Keep the record going, bring back Roberto!

11 Jan.Live on BT.

Fortuneseeker

Unfortunately, but I am not surprised, I haven't been proved wrong - January 9 2021 on BT @ 20.00 Manchester United v Watford. Why???

Fortune I don’t know why you’re going on because all 32 3rd round games are live so Man U were going to be on in any cases

Fortuneseeker

thorn, yes they are but for the last upteen years every round until they hopefully get knocked out one of the tv stations covers their match live it’s really annoying & just adds to their fans feeling of supremacy over everyone else. Can’t remember any of the other so called big 6 teams getting the same top billing.

MrsGrey

That's probably because Man Utd have the biggest global fan base.

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

If I ran BT or Sky I'd put Man Utd on as much as possible. They attract the most viewers.

Fortuneseeker

Shame there is a tv station purely for their massive fan base they could call it MUTV! 😉

ASLEFshrugged

MUTV doesn't show live first team matches, only radio commentary

Kicking off at 8pm GMT won't help the Asian fans as they are ahead of us so kick off will be 11pm - 5am local time but it will suit fans on the other side of the Atlantic

ASLEF, nevillenixon here! my ironic comment was lost on you but not Diamantis. It would have helped if I had put "isn't" & not "is".

ASLEFshrugged

Sorry, had my irony-o-meter switched off

“Kicking off at 8pm GMT won't help the Asian fans as they are ahead of us so kick off will be 11pm - 5am local time but it will suit fans on the other side of the Atlantic”

Reminds me of when I was bumming around Asia.I once got up at 3 am in Cambodia to watch West Ham.The only “ bar” showing the game had a “ no guns” sign on the window.
Which was nice.

I think it was about 5am in Bangladesh when Adrian put that penalty in against Everton. I had to work a few hours later.

MrsGrey

Totally worth it.

ASLEFshrugged

I once went to the Crown & Anchor on Tropicana Avenue, Las Vegas at 5am to watch West Ham v Leeds with my mate Homer, he was the only Leeds fan in the place but we ended up with the bar staff insisting I take him home around 9am cos he'd passed out.

Happy days
